Ann Reminisces about the Grateful Dead

Ann Discusses Trump and the Media with Hannity

    On Thursday, June 2, 2016, Ann visited Hannity to discuss how the media is attacking Trump. It is about 15 minutes. You can listen on Youtube or below:

Here are some quotes:

"I think [Trump's policies] could be summarized in a single sentence: 'He will put America first, last, and always.' And he will do it, and he doesn't care that the press and the entire media will scream bloody murder about it. He cares about Americans first, not foreigners first." [Quote found in minute 8.]

    On #NeverTrumpers and how you sometimes need to vote for someone you don't like:

"I was adamantly, ferociously opposed to John McCain, and when it was down to Obama, Hillary, and McCain, I was for Hillary over McCain because McCain would have given us amnesty and that would have been the end of the country... It would have been too late even [for] Trump to save if McCain had gotten in and pushed through amnesty.

In any event, when the time came to it, when it was Obama versus McCain, okay! Okay, I started a website: GetDrunkAndVoteForMcCain.com, but I did it! I voted for McCain. My friend, John Phillips, on radio, got drunk, used a breathalyzer, and filled out his absentee ballot for McCain. We did it, and we weren't happy about it.

And these little brats... They accuse us, conservatives of principle, of being upset when they run excrescences for President and we vote for their guy? Now they're takin' their ball and going home? No, it's outrageous. It shows they never really cared about the 2^nd Amendment. They never really cared about abortion. They never really cared about this country." [Quote found in minute 12-13.]
